Acute overdose of a new dopamine agonist, CV 205-502

CV 205-502 is a new dopamine agonist used for hyperprolactinaemia. We report a case of acute overdose (one month treatment, i.e. 2.25 mg) in a 25-year-old male patient. Clinical symptoms were restricted to nausea and mild hypotension. Treatment consisting of ipeca cuanha, charcoal and intravenous fluids allowed a rapid, successful outcome. This case illustrates the particular features of CV 205-502 intoxication when compared to other dopamine agonists, pointing out the tolerance of the drug which can be considered for wider indications and safer prescriptions.
